For what it is worth, I had issues with my SB Live! but as this all (appeared) to start when my CPU died and I had to reset BIOS or if I did indeed move up to 2.6.15 at around the same time I can't remember (2.6.15 release and CPU died all around same date) - refer to the following:

As stated the solution for me was to update alsa-utils and alsa-libs which fixed the issues I was getting - I found that if one of the 'controls' (15, I think?) was invalid at boot, all the volume settings in alsamixer got set to '0' (i.e. mute/turned off) - no sound.
